not regard republican government as suffi-
GENTLY stable for an alliance. But as the
Russian policy, especially in reference to
Bulgaria, has developed it is said that the
Car has seen the need of fighting alli-
ance" with France, even though France is a
Republic. But before committing himself to
such policy he has, so it is thought, allowed
or suggested to the Count of Paris to make
his offer of monarchy to the French peo-
ple Had they seemed ready for a change it
would obviously have been for the adyan-
tage Of Russia to wait while before max
ing French alliance. As they seem salts
fed with the Republic the Gar may go on
with the feeling that, stable or unstable, a
Republic can be his only friend in Europe.
a circumstance which gives color to this in
depreciation of political signs isIthe refusal of
the Car to meet the German Emperor at
Stettin. The old Kaiser expected such a
meeting and arranged for it.; but the Gar
did not come. This is interpreted to mean
that it is to be Russia and France against
Germany and Austria in diplomacy perhaps
in the great war the possible coming of
which haunts moneyed people and nervous
people in Europe to-day.

the condition of things is worse there than

The fortunes of the English farmers have
been ON the wane for several years, and
their complaints have been so loud as to
reach to this side of the water. A success
sion Of cold and wet seasons has diminished
their crops, while the uninterrupted compe-
tition of American beef and cereals has dim
inished the value of their products. The re-
turns from the agricultural regions of Brit
ain show that this season has not been one
Of encouragement to the farmers. Mr.. w.
J. Harris, of Devon, England, who has ac-
quired reputation at home and abroad as
an accurate and well-informed writer on ag-
ricultural subjects, says that the present
agricultural year will long be remembered in
England. sit will be- he further says, "the
year when our farming losses come to eli
max. Thousands Of men who some years
ago were capitalists will have to compound
with their creditors, and will have to aban-
don an occupation which has been the main
stay, either directly or indirectly, of at least
one-third Of the population of the three
islands, At the present time the English
farmers supply but about one-third part of
tho bread that is eaten in their country. As
for the roast beef Of Merrie England, much
OF 1t now comes from Chicago. Two-thirds
of the animal food eaten in England is pro-
duced either directly or indirectly in other
countries. The poverty of the British far

to buy the comforts and Injuries Of life, and
hence reduced trade for the manufacturers
OF Britain. In Ireland it means greater
difficulty in paying rents, and hence an ag-
gravation Of the great question of the hour,

The American party has framed its plat
form. 1t declares that longer continuance
Of our present system Of immigration and
naturalization Of foreigners are detrimental
to the welfare of the country, and that the
time is fast approaching when rigid lestric-
tion of immigration will be necessary In order
to preserve the stability Of our institutions.
There is some truth In this declaration.
There is no doubt but the country would be
good deal better off to-day il certain ele-
ments that are in it had been kept out of
1t. The Chicago anarchists are not native
production. They are the product Of other
countries transplanted into this. If the
American party simply intends to restrict
immigration to the extent of shutting out
paupers and criminals and men who come
here, not to live peaceably and industriously
under our laws, but to break them down.
then there is nothing to be said against it
except that it is superfuous, for there is no
party in existence in this country to-day Of
any considerable influence but believes in
restricting immigration to this extent

While in Maine the case Of Michael Burns
has involved consideration of the police
powers of the State in case where there is
an alleged trespass upon the rights of the ma
tional government 20 its revenue, the Iowa
Supreme Court has rendered a decision in a
somewhat similar case. Suit was brought
last spring against the owner Of distillery
to enjoin him from manufacturing alcohol or
proof spirits. The owner of the distillery
defended on the ground that he manufac-
tured entirely for export without the State
and that no portion of his product was sold
within Iowa, and that to interfere with a
business carried on with citizens of other
States would be to attempt to regulate inter
State commerce and thus TO encroach upon
the domain Of Congress. But the court has
decided that the State has ali absolute right
to prohibit the manufacture of alcohol, no
matter what may be the destination of the
product. Interstate commerce is not inter-
fered with because the manufacture Of the
liquor is prevented before it becomes a sub
1ect for transportation on Interstate rail-
Ways tzst are properly under the control of
Congress. The case will In all probability
60 to the Supreme Court of the United States
for final decision. In that case it will prob
ably be some years before the case will be
absolutely determined.
